I understand why the companies want that, but it sucks for me. I have no problem with being genuinely nice and polite to people, but I couldn't stand my last job in which everyone was expected to be ridiculously nice and fake. They basically expected cashiers to say "HELLO AND WELCOME TO TIM HORTON'S" with a huge retarded grin on their faces whenever a customer entered, which I obviously didn't do. I'm simply incapable of pretending to be nice and peppy like that. It just isn't part of my personality and if I try to force it I end up sounding like an idiot and it's obvious it's an act. And to be honest, even being genuinely nice is hard for me at first. I just don't naturally smile unless something is funny. I don't even smile when I'm happy unless something really awesome happens like I see kittens or something. If I force myself to smile in any other situation it just doesn't work, so even if I'm not trying to be mean, I get the feeling I come across that way. I really wish I wasn't like this.
I'd prefer to work at some place where the people are expected to act nice and polite but in a dignified and genuine way, not too intensely. Like receptionists or people who work at bookstores or coffee shops. That I could do. But most of those jobs seem hard to get. I'm pretty sure you need some sort of degree to be a receptionist, or at least be in school for something related to the field.
I'm considering applying to a bookstore but don't have my hopes up. The only big one is far from my house, and all the small ones are unlikely to be hiring because they're so small they probably have like 1-2 people working there at a time, maybe 5 people working there in total who are already in established full-time positions. Plus, I do like to read but haven't read that many books since I read so slowly. There happens to be a small sci-fi/fantasy bookstore in a location that couldn't be more perfect, and that's the genre I normally read. But I don't even want to get my hopes up and apply there since I'm almost sure they're full. Come to think of it, I probably haven't read enough of any other genre of books to work at one and properly advise customers or anything, so the whole bookstore thing is probably a bad idea.
So I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any good idea where I might apply? I've been to craigslist but most of the retail/sales positions are for those types of fast-food jobs that mostly want peppy teenagers. I wish there existed jobs that didn't involve much customer service but didn't require degrees. I wouldn't want to work in a factory.
Can't you get a programming job? Basically the perfect job for non-sociable people. Or do you not know enough yet?
I know how you feel about fast food jobs. The lady boss at the pizza shop asked me if I was coming back after my holiday and I was like "no no no no!!!!" ahha
Way too old. Even though it's just my situation, going to art school etc. and I need time to get in to something better, I still feel like a loser.
Doesn't help that the people in those places try to make you feel like a worthless person when you make a mistake either.
Afhfhf I'm so drunk. I bought some vodka and mixing it with Agrum coz they didn't have any fucking KAHLUA at any shops1? wtf!!!????. SOOO fucking nice hahawsn mmmmm=
I tried to talk to tat older woman who was in my art class who wanted to fuck me. Sent her a mesage on facebook because i'm so horny.
I looked at this girl's page who tried to fuck me a few years ago but I refused coz no condoms, but I haven't talked to her for years and I couldn't just say "hey wanna fuck?" so then I just went on this hormone fueled trip on facebook thinking about who could fuck me and ended on that MILF's page. lol.......... i ahte myrself
I've got it in to my head that when I leave for Queensland I will drop by her house and sex it up. Proabbly won't happen.
I hope I egt laid on this trip though.
So I was waliing into the alcohol shop when these girls asked me to donate to surf life savers and I was like "hold on 2 seconds, I'll be back" coz I just needed to cool down (in my motorbike gear) and look around the shop.
They didn't say anything. But I went back to them after buying my vodka and they were like "yo came back!" and I just smiled and was like "so.... what do you want?" (fuck this is weird, I jsut realised how weird it is that I am pressing buttons and words are coming up on the screen and I'm not even tinking about it really HAHA!)
And they were like "we have these option" and it was minimum $30 and then $50 and $100 and went up to $1000 or $1500 or some shit.
And I was like "...."
And she said no ones donated $1000 today, can you dot hat?"
And i'm like... uuhh yeah no. lol
and I looked in my wallet and I'm like "maybe I sbouldn't have gone in the shop first"
And she just looks at me like I'm a fucking retared or inconsiderate fuck or something.
FUCK YO C'NT BITCH!!!!!!!!
I'm like "can I just give you $10 or something?"
And she's like "yeah we can give you this pin for $10"
I DON'T WANT YOUR SHITTY PIN!!!!!!!
I just stood their waiting for her shitty pin, gav her $10 and walked off.
Seriously I just want to give you some moeny coz surf life savers are a good organisation, why have option for money and shit like that?
they were tryinh to make me give minimum $30 and give you prizes and sht. Idiots.... And no ones is going to give 1000- 1500.
IDIOTS!!!!!!!!
Anyway I hope this bitch gives me sex.
Edit: Zhaylin - I used to get a smell randomly too. For somer eaosn it always reminded me of my Opa (dutch for grandpa jsut if you didn't knwo). I don't know why, maybe I just smellekd it first near him, but it was just a smeel I would get some times, not sure if I imagined it. Sort of musty but.... not really, it was really just a non-smell, but stilla mslle. Too ahrd to describe.
Anyway. I love you all.
